Home and enjoying every moment of it

Today was my first day of farniente in a long, long, *long* time. My first day in which I could do nothing and not have to feel guilty about not studying or getting papers signed or running around like a headless chicken. Which is exactly what I’ve been doing for the past month, studying for exams, trying to get all my marks accounted for (which I have not yet succeeded in doing…), writing letters to various administrative organs (pointless, of course), etc. When I finally got home last Friday night after a 4-hour drive from Turin, I had to leave a mere 28 hours later for Bordeaux where I was looking for a flat, that I thankfully found. Yesterday afternoon I finally got home, and after attending a huge birthday bash last night, I spent all day just chilling on the balcony, reading a book and getting some much needed suntan.
I thought this day would never come. I literally felt like I was not getting any summer holidays this year. But I am. Albeit the shortest ever in my life, but at least I get a month off from school and hassles. Well, not totally. I need to hassle with bureaucracy and reading some boring book as an extra for a class because my teacher thought the work I did for the said class was too “anarchic”. That’s the university of Turin and its view of anything ever so slightly out of the ordinary. Thumbs up guys!

Hopefully this month of holidays (and *fingers crossed* traveling) will be ideal for the shooting of some new pics. I can’t wait!
